<p>You can also configure whether each library is referenced with a relative path or an absolute path.</p>
<p>If no library folder exists, opens the New Library wizard that you use to set a libraries folder and to specify how to reference each library.</p>
<p>The simplest case is to have the libraries copied to that folder. You can also refer to the libraries in their existing location (with a relative path or an absolute path). If you have specified an existing folder, you also have the option of using copies of libraries that are already in that folder instead of the copies that are contained in the IDE's Ant Library Manager.</p>

<p><b>Note:</b></p>
<p>You can select an item in the list and use the Edit button to associate sources and Javadoc documentation with an item for that project. However, if you plan to use the classpath element in many projects, it is better to create a library for that classpath element in the Ant Library Manager (<b>Tools</b> &gt; <b>Ant</b> <b>Libraries</b>).
